Emmy-nominated documentarians Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce, directors of the hit Prime Video doc “Kelce,” have signed with CAA for representation.
Argott and Joyce are the founders of 9.14 Pictures, a production company that specializes in feature-length documentaries and non-fiction series, with award-winning work spanning music documentaries, sports, true crime and investigative pieces. Their latest film, “Kelce,” chronicles the life and career of Philadelphia Eagles team captain Jason Kelce.
“Kelce” debuted Sept. 12 on Prime Video as the No. 1 film offered on the streaming platform. Since then, the film has become the streamer’s most-watched documentary ever in the U.S. Directed by Argott and Joyce, the film follows Kelce, the all-pro center, throughout the 2022-23 NFL season, offering an intimate look at his life on and off the field, particularly as he contemplates retirement. Kelce’s 12th season in the league was particularly momentous, as the Eagles went on a fairytale run. Kelce made it all the way to the Super Bowl to face off against his brother, Travis, and the Kansas City Chiefs. The doc also features footage of Jason at home with his wife, Kylie, and their three daughters (the youngest of whom was born during filming), as well as his mother Donna and home videos of the Kelce brothers as kids.
Aside from the buzzy documentary, in 2022 the duo released “Spector,” a four-part doc series for Showtime about the controversial pop music innovator Phil Spector, and “Dio: Dreamers Never Die,” a career-spanning documentary about legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio. The film premiered at SXSW and screened on Showtime.
Argott and Joyce’s credits also include 2009’s “The Art of the Steal”; 2011’s “Last Days Here,” which collected prizes along the festival circuit including the award for best music documentary at International documentary Festival Amsterdam; and 2012’s “The Atomic States of America,” about growing up in a nuclear reactor community.
The pair are also behind 2017’s “Batman & Bill,” about the uncredited co-creator of Batman, Bill Finger; 2019’s “Framing John DeLorean,” about the rise and fall of the automaker; and 2018’s “Believer,” which featured Imagine Dragons’ frontman Dan Reynolds exploring how the Mormon Church treats its LGBTQ+ members. The HBO film was nominated for an Emmy and won the best documentary prize at the Hollywood Film Awards and GLAAD Media Awards.
